Abstract:
In 1942, the Coast Guard Cutter ICARUS (WPC-110) sank the German submarine the Unterseeboot 352 off the coast of North Carolina, twenty-six miles south of Morehead City. At 218 feet long, 871 tons, and 115 feet down on the sandy ocean floor, the U-352 is another relic of the Graveyard of the Atlantic. In 1975, a diver discovered an armed torpedo, 88 mm shells, and the remains of ten Nazi sailors still inside the submarine.
